and honour the many individuals, families, businesses, and organizations who have made noteworthy contributions to the Fraser River's culture, people, industry, and environment. Each year, the Hall of Fame nominee is celebrated at the Annual Fraser River Hall
of Fame Gala, held at the Fraser River Discovery Centre.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Futura Lt BT",sans-serif">This year’s inductee is MLA Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Fin Donnelly! Fin is the founder of the <span style="color:#0070C0"><a href="https://rivershed.com/"><b><span style="color:#0070C0">Rivershed Society

1990 to 2000, he made 14 environmental marathon swims, covering more than 3,200 kilometres in BC’s rivers, lakes, and ocean; including twice swimming the 1,375 km length of the Fraser River in 1995 and 2000 to draw attention to the declining health of these
water bodies and to encourage communities to engage in environmental advocacy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Futura Lt BT",sans-serif">Since 1995, he has spoken to more than 60,000 people in hundreds of BC schools and communities about sustainable living. In 1991, Fin was honoured by the Squamish Nation with the name <em><span style="font-family:"Futura Lt BT",sans-serif">Iyim
